The heart of our organization is the giving of scholarships and grants. Our scholarship program has subsidized dozens of women through the years by helping to fund their culinary education. Our grants provide financial assistance to nonprofit organizations in our community that promote community health, sustainable food practices, and culinary training specifically geared to women families and children. Since our founding in 1985, we have distributed over $500,000 in scholarships and grants.

We are currently seeking sponsors for the 2025 Les Dames d'Escoffier DC Symposium. This event would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors who share our vision of supporting professional women in the food, beverage and related industries. Your support helps to ensure that we continue our work in advancing female professionals in the industry and that we have the resources to promote diversity, equity, and sustainability. If you have questions about sponsorship, or want to build a custom opportunity to meet your outreach and marketing goals, please contact Holly Barzyk, Vice President, Development, Les Dames d'Escoffier Washington DC Regional Chapter at development@lesdamesdc.org.
